Here are some simple steps you can take to avoid the flu:

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Avoid close contact with individuals who are sick.
• Stay home from work or school if sick.

If you are 40 years of age or older, be sure to have a screening mammogram every two years.

Talk to your Brown & Toland physician to obtain a referral to a mammography screening location near you.
